Welcome to EPIC Leadership CADA Annual Convention 2016 - Reno, NV
“Be a Seeker of Wisdom”
“Consult the Wise”
H
“Associate with your Peers”
ow remarkable that we received the ideas of leadership and democracy from the Greeks, and that they also provided us with excellent aphorisms that are just as true today as they were in ancient history.
The 2016 CADA EPIC Leadership Convention will allow you to follow in such knowledgeable footsteps and assist you in your Activity Odyssey. Activity directors and those who support student activities are the most vital and dynamic citizens on our campuses. You help students grow and succeed, not only in school, but also throughout their lives. You are appreciated and admired. Thank you for attending our 2016 CADA EPIC Leadership Convention. Remember to be present, attend as many sessions as you are able, take notes, make new connections, ask questions, and enjoy your journey. When you get back to your school, please continue with the observations of our Classical Leaders: “Use Your Skill” “Tell What You Know” “Give Back What You Have Received”
These wise words will enable all of us to do what is most important:“Teach the Youngsters!” Yours in EPIC Service and Love,
